Hello there Tom's Hardware,
I am looking at getting a multi-purpose laptop, and at that, one that I can play my games on (Command and Conquor 4, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2/Black Ops, Fallout New Vegas) and play them on a relatively high quality. This laptop must also have quality cooling and a battery life of at least 4 hours (admittedly less if I am hardcore gaming).
The laptops I have been looking at:

I am open to more suggestions as I am unfamiliar with the laptop market (and I have built all of my desktops myself by purchasing the parts seperately) and I do not want to spend too much. Also, I do not want to have the laptop shipped in to me. I do not care how reliable it is, I refuse to pay shipping and insurance on a $1500 piece of technology; I live in Western Australia.
So my friends, Which is best?
